You should spend time with your kids and the entire family at least on a Sunday wherein you will not do any work-related things. A treat for the kids does not always mean expensive thing and trips. Kids are kids – they are more than happy to see their busy parents at home so even simple things can be special to them when it's with you.

Here are some ideas for inexpensive treats that you can do for your children during the weekend:

Sometimes, staying at home with your portable aircon on with snacks to munch on and their favorite cartoons or movie to watch together, is enough to make them happy. It is simple, inexpensive but fun nevertheless. At the same time, you can relax and unwind after a tiring week at work.

Make sure to bring extra sets of clothes so they have something to change with when they get dirty and sweaty. You can also play as a family which the kids will surely enjoy.

3. Treat them for some ice cream – The best thing about kids is that they find pleasure in little things in life. Tell them that you will go out to eat ice cream and you will definitely see their eyes lit up with excitement. You can give this as their reward for doing good in school.

4. Play with them – Kids love to play but they'll love it more if you will play with them. Make time during the weekend to check out what they play and then join them. You can also play sports like basketball, baseball or others. Teach them to catch ball or throw ball so they can use it when they grow up. Bonding moments like this is something they remember as they grow up.

5. Cook their favorite foods – Another inexpensive way to treat your kids is by cooking or preparing their favorite foods. Prepare a sumptuous breakfast with their favorite pancakes with chocolate bits and hot chocolate. You can also bond over baking cookies or cakes and then eat it together afterwards.
